Chapter 017: Grouping
Liu Chang could not continue to make a textile machine in the Jiaofang Palace.
Because now he is no longer alone.
Liu Bang sent the eunuch named Duan Shun to his side, Liu Chang didn't like this guy very much at first, but after a few conversations, the two became acquainted. This guy has the same interests as Liu Chang, both of them like these machines very much, and he can understand some of the mechanical principles that Liu Chang told him.
During the conversation with him, Liu Changfang learned that the palace had its own manufacturing department.
The largest manufacturing department is Shaofu, Shaofu is one of the nine Qing, responsible for the royal finances and royal supplies, under the name of Shaofu, there is a Shang Fang Ling, Shang Fang Ling is responsible for building weapons and manufacturing the utensils required for the palace.
Shang Fangling was held by eunuchs, and there were eunuchs in the department, as well as some excellent craftsmen. Liu Chang didn't know that there was such a department in the palace. If he knows a little bit about history, he will know that in the near future, there will be a very famous Shang Fangling, named Cai Lun.
"It's a pity, if Gongzi is not a royal family, he can be promoted to two levels with this object alone."
Duan Shun shook his head and said.
Liu Chang doesn't care, he is a son, and when he grows up, he will be a prince, and he can't be promoted again, if the prince is promoted one step further... Well, then it's going to go up to the underworld.
Liu Chang is making textile machines in Shangfang Mansion at the moment, here, he doesn't have to do it himself, just skilled craftsmen, there are more than 20 people here, all of them are extremely good old craftsmen, these are the best craftsmen Liu Bang found from all over the country, Liu Chang's craftsmanship is not enough in front of them.
On the first day of coming here, an old craftsman looked at the simple mortise and tenon joint, shook his head helplessly, and made a bitter face.
Probably because of Liu Chang's identity, when Liu Chang asked him how his skills were, he just said, "Very thoughtful." ”
They made a new one, the idea is still according to Liu Chang, but the textile machine they made is two times longer than Liu Chang's, Liu Chang thought of how to save wood when he did it, therefore, many parts are almost next to each other, but these craftsmen are pursuing efficiency and stability, so it is larger.
Liu Chang began to fall into a situation of idleness, every day is to look at those craftsmen, the improvement of the textile machine is very simple, these craftsmen in the first look of the semi-finished product, already know the principle, do not give Liu Chang any chance to pretend to be forced to slap the face, stuffy head and built.
Liu Chang's only pastime was when he chatted with these craftsmen.
Liu Chang doesn't like to chat with those eunuchs, it's not that he looks down on these people, it's just that these people have been in the palace for too long, and they talk in a set way.
But these simple craftsmen are different, they were still a little afraid of Liu Chang at first, but when they found that the emperor's son was similar to the boy who owed a beating, they let go, they would occasionally use the remaining wood to make some small toys for Liu Chang, and they would laugh and chat with him about family life.
"Of the four children in the family, six have died, and these four are left.... The eldest is sixteen years old, and it's time to get married. ”
No matter when, it seems to be the greatest wish of parents to let their children start a family, but the difference is that in this era, if the child exceeds a certain age and does not start a family, it is a fine, and it cannot be said that it is a fine, but it is necessary to pay additional taxes.
This system was formulated by the Tyrannical Qin, and the Han pushed the marriage age back by one year in the system of the Tyrannical Qin to show that he was completely different from the Tyrant Qin. You can see it, forget it, you don't know it. If you didn't copy it, you just didn't copy it, and it was said that it was a violent Qin.
These craftsmen are very worshipful of Liu Bang, they believe that Liu Bang must have some great power, although their life is not too good, but they are still very satisfied, according to them, in the previous dynasty, to help the emperor's family to make utensils, do not give money, but now they give them a certain reward, this is the greatness of Liu Bang in their eyes.
If so, Liu Bang's greatness seems a little small. The peasants in ancient China were very easy to be satisfied, a little favor from the ruler could make them grateful to Dade, and if they met an emperor who had been practicing benevolent government all his life and had done countless good things for the people, they could even be grateful for hundreds of years, referring to a certain fourth brother who did not like words.
"With His Majesty's gift, life is enough, but if you can't go out here, you miss your family a little... I haven't seen anyone in my family for four years, and I've always asked someone to help write letters. ”
Liu Chang listened to them carefully, and sometimes said his own opinions, but he never had the opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the textile machine.
Of course, Hanshin's course here still has to continue.
Han Xin had already been broken by Liu Chang, and Han Xin's flowers and plants in the front yard were also ruined by Liu Chang. At this moment, for Liu Chang, he has automatically cut into Liu Bang's state, and he is no longer on the edge of the test, but has begun to really do it.
Of course, before he started, Han Xin wrote a recital to Liu Bang, in which he talked about the problem of teachers educating disciples, and used Confucius and others as examples to talk about it and wrote thousands of words. And Liu Bang's reply to him was very simple, just one word, "hit".
Then, Han Xin's house slaves can often see the scene of Han Xin raising his shoes and chasing the Han prince in the courtyard.
"You built a new spinning wheel?"
Han Xin squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Chang suspiciously.
"Master, what kind of eyes are you? I've really made it, and in two days at the latest, my father will officially announce it... That machine is so old that you'll be shocked when you see it. ”
No matter how Liu Chang explained, Han Xin just didn't believe it.
Liu Chang had completed half of his basic coursework, and Han Xin began to mock battles with him, usually listing famous battles in history with him, and occasionally starting from reality.
"A good attacker must first be able to defend, if you are appointed as a lieutenant commander, how do you deploy defense?"
Liu Chang thought seriously and replied: "I will deploy two-thirds of my troops at the east gate, near Wutai and Gouyi Palace, because the east gate is very empty, and the north gate will have fewer soldiers, because Changle Palace can play a buffer role, and the enemy will not attack the palace from here..."
"You look down on the deployment of the royal tomb..."
"Who is the royal tomb?"
"Lang Zhongling."
"It turns out that Lang Zhongling's name is Wang Ling, this person has no ability, and there are always a bunch of people in the armor of the defense, all gathered at the south gate, and I don't know how to rotate..."
"Well, I'll ask you again, if you don't have food in your camp and you're surrounded on three sides by enemies...."
Just as they were teaching, Gu suddenly walked in, and said angrily: "There is a guest coming, Wuyang Hou asks to see him." ”
Han Xin raised his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let him in." ”
Just when Liu Chang was thinking about who Wuyang Hou was, a fierce man who was stronger than Gu walked into the house, and the fierce man stood there, which made people afraid, he was really a man like an iron tower. Although he was tall and looked very difficult to mess with, his face was full of smirks, and his momentum was a little shorter.
"Minister, Fan Xu, to meet the king."
"Hmm."
Han Xin was relatively cold to him, but Fan Xu didn't think there was anything about it, and knelt aside respectfully.
"Are you Fan Xu??"
Liu Chang's eyes widened and he looked at the fierce man in front of him.
"Seventh Prince, I'm Fan Xu."
Fan Xu didn't look fierce at all, he didn't have the momentum of eating raw pork in the textbook at all, which convinced Xiang Yu, Liu Chang stretched out his hand and touched his arm, Fan Xu's arm was thicker than Liu Chang's thighs, hard, Fan Xu smiled, and let Liu Chang get started.
Han Xin had a businesslike attitude, with a cold face and did not say a word.
"Did you really eat raw pork at the Hongmen Banquet?"
"I've eaten it."
"How's it taste?"
"Forget."
"Then do you want to try again, I can treat you to it."
Seeing that the two fools in front of him were chatting like this, Han Xin held back his anger and interrupted their conversation, "Wuyang Hou suddenly came to visit, but what's the matter?" ”
